However, Suarez – speaking at a press conference in his homeland ahead of next Wednesday's friendly against France – did little to allay fears he wants to move on as he once again blamed the English media for unsettling him.

“England and Spain are the best leagues in the world,” Suarez said.

“It is normal that it is impossible to say no to big teams for which one always dreams.

“But I have not spoken with Madrid nor with Liverpool. My agent has not told me anything either, but they (the media) are speculating.

“I do not know if I am going and I do not know if I am staying. Liverpool is a great club but it is difficult because of the harassment I get from the press over there.

“I had a very hard time. The things that were said were lies and that infuriates me. One has limits and my family also suffer.

“My family, my image - that’s what matters to me most. The coach and some colleagues know that I suffered. I was treated badly and I did not feel comfortable and they know perfectly.

“It’s nothing against Liverpool, on the contrary, I feel very comfortable at the club, but I have a daughter and I do not want her to hear bad things about her father. In England they talk about many things and in some ways I feel uncomfortable.”

Suarez's comments came after his agent Pere Guardiola had earlier played down talk of a possible transfer, stating that the player was happy at Liverpool and had no plans to leave this summer.

Real Madrid appear increasingly certain to attempt to lure Suarez to the Bernabeu with club president Florentino Perez expressing his admiration for the Reds' 30-goal top scorer.

“Luis Suarez is a great player and I’m sure everyone will want to have him. I like him and others, but all do not fit,” he said.
